The picture below is my smallest, ugliest one. And I think it looks pretty fabulous. And it tasted even better! My original plan turned out to be a little more than I could do, but I was determined to make the breakfast pockets. I really want to have more substantial quick breakfasts available to my kids, and I was sure they … [Read more...]
Squeezing in my Daily Checklist
Today has been a bit crazy. I haven't had tons of commitments or anything, but I really wanted to make the breakfast pockets and participate in Freezer Cooking Days at Money Saving Mom. Not a problem, except that it's also Tuesday, my new day to clean bathrooms. Not a problem, except that just yesterday we got notice that my kindergartner was … [Read more...]
28 Day Organizing Challenge – Office Clutter Corner
February is over. Oh my. At the beginning of February, I joined in on Orgjunkie's 28 Day Organizing Challenge. So today I'm going to reveal the results of my labor from the entire . . . morning. Yes, morning. I'm a procrastinator, and although I thought I'd work on this little by little all month, the month pulled a fast one on me and … [Read more...]
Laundry Report – Week 1 and Daily Checklist
Things I've learned during this first week of my new laundry routine: The boys have plenty of socks. I do not have enough socks. Don't wear your favorite totally-comfy-but-you-tell-yourself-they're-slimming-so-you-wear-them-twice-a-week sweatpants on Tuesday morning when you clean bathrooms. You won't be able to wear them again until after … [Read more...]
Freezer Cooking Plan
Just a quick post to share my plans for freezer cooking next week. I normally love to cook up a lot of meat, but at this point, I don't have any sales available to stock up, so I'm going to keep using what I have until a sale comes along. But, I always appreciate some external motivation like Money Saving Mom's Freezer Cooking Days to kick me … [Read more...]
Accepting Help
I had a friend where we used to live who asked me once if I'd like to get together on a weekly basis to help each other clean house while we let the kids play. Fabulous idea, but it petrified me. I couldn't let someone into my house to clean without . . . . cleaning it first. Because I am a slob, you know. And my main method of survival at that … [Read more...]

How All This Clutter Happened
I haven't regularly gone to garage sales in over a year. I rarely go shopping. But yesterday, I had some time in a city that actually has some real stores, and I had just found a visa gift card that I received for Christmas. And I wanted shoes. Everybody else in the world seems to have cute shoes. Everybody but me. I sit in my discussion … [Read more...]
Stopping the Spiral
I did pretty well on Monday. I did pretty well yesterday. But somehow today, since I didn't get the kitchen clean before leaving the house for the entire day (much less do any other daily tasks), my house was in pretty bad shape. I found myself thinking that "The house is spiraling out of control." Let's analyze that sentence … [Read more...]
